Hello! My name is Aljooy Altonsi. I am a student at Emirates International School. As part of MYP design in Term 3, we were assigned to make a booklet about storage devices that is targeted towards children in order to make them understand the concept of storage devices a little more. The booklet would consist of information that would be simple and fun as well as understandable.
Global Context:
Our global context for this unit is Fairness And Development. A question that we have to consider is: What are the consequences of our common humanity? This was also assigned to us: Students will explore rights and responsibilities; the relationship between communities; sharing finite resources with other people and with other living things; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution. The global context was supposed deepen our understanding about the concept of storage devices and how, why, when, where they are used. Other than fairness and development, there are global contexts that are used very frequently. Another global context that could be related to the subject would be Orientation In Space And Time. The question that is to be asked would be:What is the meaning of ‘where’ and ‘when’?. This task would be assigned as well: Students will explore personal histories; homes and journeys; turning points in humankind; discoveries; explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationships between, and the interconnected-ness of, individuals and civilizations, from personal, local and global perspectives.
ATL Skills:
Information Literacy
To find out information about devices, specifically storage devices, I will need to use my research skills. My research skills include: evaluating my work, orginizing my notes, locating the correct and understandable information and selecting my recources. These skills would definetly help me tremendiously with finding information and about devices and storage devices.
Communication
The booklet we must produce has a meaningful and impactful purpose. It is supposed to serve for a bigger meaning than just a simple display of information. The booklet is meant to educate the students of grade 7 about the storage devices. That bookler would be very helpful to them becuase they have just started MYP Information Technology so they must know alot to proggress. The booklet would be perfect help for them when they must know alot and understand technology.
